I traded with a guy on a subreddit for 30 ml of a "vintage batch" of GIT. Now I had been familiarized with the scent from a decant I purchased and fell in love with this sparkling green freshie. This "vintage" smells way more earthy(almost like wet hey)and doesen't have the beautiful opening. Is this common of older batches? Or has something in the fragrance went bad?
@@uncouthLIyouth the fresh green opening of your vintage must've gone down after ages. I mean, it's not a super dark potent juice that might last for decades.
By the way Mr Smelly where could I buy a vintage bottle like that if I live in the U.S.? Also how many hours of longevity / projection are you getting from that bottle ?
Refreshing to hear a fragrance reviewer who isn't loud, obnoxious and overly fond of buzzwords.
Thank you !
When someone has some background prior to becoming UA-camr. Worse is when some are this lab hamster and your cage is a UA-cam, you grew up with an iphone and the phone is a lens thru you see the world.
I love Creed Green Irish Tweed GIT and I'm only 25 lol truly enjoy it very masculine & classy I've gotten compliments on it and ironic enough I'm a gardener or landscaper so I work outdoors & definitely smells very natural & similar lush fresh cut green grass / floral smell .
Great review and I enjoyed it and I'm gonna try it have a blessed day
Really do enjoy these singular POV reviews, Mr. Smelly! Thanks for this! Let's Project!!! 🎩💨
Thank you so much Kerino!
I have a bottle from around 2017. The bottle looks amazing and smells great, however I prefer Parfum Vintage's Emerald Isle which is an inspiration of the vintage GIT. There is a definite difference between the two - GIT is more floral and bright, whereas Emerald Isle is a lot stronger and has more depth with the sandlewood. Love it
I hope you find time to compare GIT vs Carven Pout Homme, some say this is if not a clone or inspiration a perfume with similarities, I just purchase it and I found it a very nice, this has violet leaf as the dominant note, strong but in balance with nutmeg, cedar and vetiver and with a refreshing and sparkling grapefruit as top note.... great review Dan!
very well done review that gives much respect to this classic frag
Excellent presentation, loved it.
Hey just want to say im very happy with the gravitas pour homme really enjoyed it
The best review of GIT as well as the trivia of Creed's history! Also thanks for pointing out that 2016 was the batch where the performance went downhill, I'll try to find the older bottles-much appreciation for this vid!
Thanks Zotic.
Verily I think you are the best fragrance reviewer on youtube. Do you have a favourite Creed? I've just bought clones of Aventus and GIT (because quite frankly both are simply too expensive to justify their purchase on my salary). Kind regards from South Africa.
Yo Smelly, just got my bottle of Gravitas just in time for summer in AZ, LOL! Smells nice, man, really happy. Also, the presentation is top notch and the sprayer is the nicest of any of my 60+ bottles.
My vote is that you put a spin on the classic Italian citrus fragrance for your next release.
Thanks a lot Marco. I am really happy that you like it. Your suggestion about the next one is definitely good.
U use this scent for summer bro?
Another really great review. Enjoy the history lesson. Run a clone of GIT in spring. Kudos to Creed for capturing the smell of dewy green countryside. Elegant cologne. Elegant review.
Thank you very much Michael.
True class indeed with this one. No performance issues with my 2018 bottle.
I love Green Irish Tweed....and no other clone smells exactly like it... Great review. Thank you!
Thanks Antonio!
How much lasts if u have 2019/2020 batches
@@AbdulAzizAlkendi 7 hours or so..
Anyone know if the newer batches are just as good?
Hello MrSmelly ! Very interesting video ! Do you know other "green" fragrances that I should try ? Thanks.
Creed Green Valley, which h is VAULTED/DISCONTINUED. You can get a very good clone from Dua Fragrances however.
Absolute masterpiece. I think the performance issues are more recent than 2016. My previous bottle was 2016 & lasted all day, my recent 2019 lasts about 5-6 hrs.
Agreed.
Generally with creed, the older the batch the better it will smell and perform.
Great review dan , love from Glasgow things are looking better outside , ps have you and codes for your fragrance Grav .
james grant I’m in Glasgow, too.
Glasgow, Delaware that is.
Thanks a lot James. We don’t have any codes I’m afraid.
Man I love the old transparent bottle design
Its smells so freakin good that dry down is something special an sets it apart from other scents
I wonder if the glory of the older formulations are simply due age. Certainly Creed reformulates, but I wonder if it really is such a problem. I have and older and newer bottle...they seem similar to me.
This is one I’ll always have in my collection
Me too Jason.
How much lasts if u have 2019/2020 batches
One of. The best love this stuff shame about the price but we'll worth it
Yes I agree Brendan.
It's all about opinions. Some thinks the smell is outdated. GIT, Royal Oud and Royal Maifair all are iconic and all time classics!
This was great. Did you ever do a deep dive like this on Virgin Island Water? If not, could we get one?
Thank you! Maybe I’ll do that .
I have a 2017 GIT and performance is great
That’s great Jason. Thanks for the info.
I think this was reformulated, but get this....it's LONGER LASTING. The lady in selfridges sprayed it for me and it stayed in my damn wrist till next day. That's of course why I own it now and honesty, easy signature worthy.
Definitely one of the best portraits of GIT...mine is from 2019...definitely worse in performance than a sample I had in the past. Doesnt last barely 5h...the sample I had last a whole day and was noticeable even the day after.
Same here. I’m more than disappointed with longevity and sillage of the newest formulation. I barely get 3-4 hrs...terrible. Not worth the price they’re asking
Thanks a lot Ron. Great shame if this fragrance is now changed.
@@MrSmelly1977 real shame...wont buy it again...rather stick with Coty Aspen which smells close and isnt much worse in performance
Worth trying Egra by Rasasi which you can pick up on EBay for about £20. Very very close imo. I've got both but use the GIT sparingly.
I would say that people can most definitely make up bald faced fibs. Great reviews!
My favorite favorite perfume in my life from 1998
Excellent!
Love Bois de Portugal and Tabarome Millésime. Never tried GIT.
Oh you must try it DK!
@@MrSmelly1977 Dan, ironically enough I was on Luckyscent's site doing another "lockdown" samples haul and I'm went to look at GIT but as luck would have it they are out of samples ugh lol. Needless to say thanks to you I've blind bought a few bottles plus samples!
its tthee best creed
I have bought and used GIT for over 30 years, sadly, it's not the same! I've made my last purchase of Creed, it's too expensive for the quality it has now become, doesn't quite smell the same, has no longevity, no one comments on it anymore...
One of the greatest Creed creations. I have 2011 and 2018 bottles: they don't perform that differently, neither is a beast but I like the 2018 for top notes freshness that 2011 no longer has. I don't buy the Pierre Bourdon story: he did not create anything remotely close on the niche side (even though multiple iconic designer frags), but he could have been a collaborator, maybe? How else you can explain him getting away with practically cloning it 2 years later for Davidoff??? :) PS To this day, I have not found a perfect clone of this one, with Chez Bond being the closest, yet not close enough.
Hi Serge. Good to heat your modern batch is still ok. Yeah can’t substantiate the Pierre B story! Apologies to Olivier if I’m wrong!
@@MrSmelly1977 Olivier created some serious niche big hitters while Pierre really hasn't... That's how I do my reality check :) 2011 batch lasts a little longer but once it started running low, I got current batch at the time and wasn't disappointed. I assume some of the batch variation rumors are spread by people buying frags from questionable sources where they can be tempered with (diluted, not stored correctly or simply counterfeit), maybe?
@@sergemunitz1153 its the only explanation lol, and there is a reason Frederic Malle hired him, because of his talent and experience. French Lover is a far better no holds bard version of spice & wood, Pierre has made some of the most iconic fragrances in the last 50 years, remember "niche" wasn't really around back then, for the most part these master perfumers made perfume for the big designer brands thats all there was for the longest time.
This is my next purchase...not sure why I have waited so long
You won’t regret it Joe!!
The best from Creed 🙌
Hey im new in the fragrance world... my question is, do average people recognize that this is not cool water if u wearing it?
NO
best creed..timeless.
Dan: You are NOT middle aged. You are TIMELESS. And of course HANDSOME.
Well thank you!!!
If I was to buy a Creed fragrance, this is the one I would buy.
Yes a great one to have if you just have one Creed.
And I would say you are man with elegant taste. Good day sir!
For the price it is abit overrated for my taste. But it smells wonderful.
It’s a beauty for sure Lord Nelson.
The older pre-2015 formulation bottles are noticeably better imo. It’s somewhat flat now and has lost that magic sparkle and natural juiciness of the earlier bottles.
I have a bottle from 2014 and one from 2019 so have compared them side by side. The longevity and depth is definitely superior with my pre-2015 bottle as well. Cheapened to maximise profits while cutting manufacturing costs? Most likely👎🏻
Thanks Ben.
So unfortunate
They should get rid of the black bottle and bring back the original which is what you’re showing. I hate not being able to see the liquid.
Also, GIT is amazing, but it just doesn’t last at all. I get 2 hours out of my batch; not good
L’aventure knight smells 99% similar with better performance
I wish they refurmulate this fragrance and remove that synthetic metallic vibe in it
My first impression 3 years ago was brilliant on Green Irish Tweed. Smelled like fresh cut grass. Because I could not afford it, I bought Armaf Tres Nuit as a clone instead and was massively disappointed, zero performance, not that GIT vibe expected that I had in mind, then degraded to being my gym scent until it was finished. Recently I discovered Parfums Vintage Emerald Isle which seemed to be extremely close to GIT and smelled much better
You’ re right man. All of those reviewers saying Tres Nuis is 95% similar are lying and probably are paid by Armaf to say so. That clone sucks so bad. It doesn’t smell similar at all !
Longevity on the new batches 1 hour.
Nice video
Thank you Matti.
I love this scent but the performance of my 2020 bottle is a joke. This wonderful GIT blast in the opening then...nothing. Barely a skin scent after half an hour. I can drench myself in it, barely any difference. Doesn’t even stick to my clothes. How is it possible to justify dropping $400 on this?
Edit: batch code of my bottle is 19U01
Did you buy it online? You think maybe could be a knock-off?
CLASSIC!! 👍 👍 🎉
Hi Stefan! Agreed!!!! Love your vids.
@@MrSmelly1977 thanks Mate! 👍
Is Green Irish Tweed really a Fougere?
Yes it is.
@@dusanninic5372 I disagree. Being green doesn't necessarily mean it's a Fougere. The prototypical Fougere accord, recognized by most perfumers, is really the lavender-coumarin accord. Whether or not coumarin is actually a note in the composition or not. GIT really isn't prototypically fougere.
@@JT-rx1eo
You are correct, but because of the freshness, some people will say that GIT can be a fougere.
For me, Fougere Royal by Houbigant is the best fougere fragrance I've ever tried, and Beau de Jeur is the worst !
@@dusanninic5372 I have Houbigant Fougere Royale (2010) and I agree it's a fantastic modern interpretation of the classic Fougere. It's similar to Amouage Bracken Man. Bea de Jour is my favorite "barbershop" fougere. I'm surprised you would like Fougere Royale but not Beau de Jour.
Still my all time favourite scent. Unbelievable levels of class. Refuse to use clones of it, nothing meets the original.
Hope Gravitas becomes the next legend, good sir.
Thanks so much Frank.
I hate the fact that it mildly smells of cool water.
It's the other way around. Davidoff copied the GIT profile.
GIT is my favorite Creed
It’s definitely one of, if not the, best.
So it should be green english tweed 🤣🤣
Thank you Demi. Always love your reviews. I disagree about Green Irish piss:). I mean for the green Irish tweed. Opening is good but then dry down < 10 mins, it smells like a urine. Yes, you hear me right. I thought there was something wrong with my bottle so I got sample from neiman marcus and still the same. DONT BUY IT. Don’t piss your money away:) Hopefully this will help people to save few hundred dollars and can use it for something worthy.
Lol!
Man, noses are different. A Rorsach test. I am very sensitive to "cat piss" civet/musk/castoreum accords, but I detect absolutely none in GIT.
Unfortunately reformulated.
This sucks
Creed: From father to son to venture capitalist.
It just feels un patriotic for me not to like this 🍀
Thanks Robert.
Bro Robin Williams is dead
